Fashion Tips

Wash new jeans twice before taking them to the tailor. Why? Because jeans will always shrink in length when washed.

“Remove white deodorant marks from a garment by gently rubbing the protective foam used on hangers against the fabric."

If you get an oil stain on your favorite handbag, coat the mark with baby powder and let it stand overnight. By morning, the stain should be gone. If a bit still remains, repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.

To clean dirt off suede, remove the crust from a piece of bread and allow it to become stale. Gently rub dirt and stains with the edge of the stale bread, and they’ll disappear. To de-scuff suede, use an eraser or nail file.

“Use hairspray to remove a lipstick stain.”

When getting jeans shortened, always ask your tailor to reattach the original hem. It may cost extra, but it’s worth it.

Hang a shoe bag on the back of your bathroom door and use it to hold makeup, toiletries, brushes, hair ties, etc.

Don’t buy items you know you won’t properly care for. For example, if you know you’re never going to hand-wash that delicate cami or beaded sweater, don’t buy it.
